Was Barack Obama In the 1993 Music Video For 'Whoomp (There It Is)'?Finally, a Barack Obama conspiracy theory for the rest of us! Everyone from Tea Partiers to hip hop message boards think Obama was an extra in the music video for Tag Team's single "Whoomp (There It Is)".

Is it wrong that I went just to listen to the song again?

Then I don't wanna be right. It's on my "Party and Bullshit" playlist on my iPod.

Could be him, if he's since had his left lateral incisor straightened or capped.

Look at the picture close to the end of the article. It really doesn't look all that much like him.

The ears are way too small for Obama.

It's definitely not him, but I could almost believe it was a cousin or something. The nose at least looks really similar. Still, I think if he didn't have the sunglasses on, it would be more obvious; their eyes probably look very different.

The lower quality looks a LOT like Obama, but the higher quality pic at the end looks only similar.

My 91YO mother would say that the guy in the video is not as good-looking as Obama.

This is not a joke. After weeks of Internet rumors, the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters at PolitiFact have undertaken what is clearly the most serious investigation in the history of their organization, or let's face it, the history of political journalism itself. The question: Was that Barack Obama in the "Whoomp! (There It is)" video?
